Etsy Day

Today is Etsy day! Etsy is most definitely my favorite spot for inspiration. I check Etsy several times a day to see what is new in the "hand-picked items" spot on the front page, as well as the "recently listed" items. I am continually amazed at the talented sellers that fill the site. I do a regular "Etsy Finds" post on my blog where I share some of my favorite shops along with my favorite items. I decided to do the same here today. I am sharing some of my very favorite shops I have previously spotlighted on my blog, plus a few new ones I just HAD to share with you.

Alicia Bock Photography - beautiful photography skills! I love the antique/aged feel she is able to evoke in her work. I also love to check out her blog regularly.

Tollipop - just found this lovely artist and absolutely LOVE their style. Such creativity and imagination.

Diddle Dumpling - love the re-purposed baby shoes. Such original designs. I know that this seller has donated an adorable pair of owl shoes for the benefit sale below.

Shy Siren - love these vintage-esque (is that a word ha, ha?) pieces of jewelry. The colors of the jewels are amazing.

The only seller I have actually purchased something from is Luxe Deluxe and the item is the most lovely piece of jewelry I own. I ordered this lovely locket for myself for Christmas. As you can see in the second photo, it now holds a photo of my "love" in it. I really love Luxe Deluxe and continue to be amazed at the beautiful items they continue to add to their shop.

Another reason today is Etsy day is to remind you all about the Nie Benefit Sale that starts this morning (10 am PST) and goes through tomorrow and possibly Thursday.

If you are planning on purchasing something you had better be quick. I think things will get snatched up pretty quickly, especially after seeing a preview of some of the items. You're gonna love 'em!
